Could you pick one of these classic cars as your own if given the chance?

Shelby knew a lot about fast cars.

Yes.  That is a Ford Pinto Wagon.  Yes, it is faster than the one your mom drove.

Remember seeing Indiana Jones and Short Round driving this?  The lady who owns this car lives in Las Vegas and found it rotting in a barn in North Dakota.  It went from a rat infested mess to something flies can't land on because they skid off.  What a car.

This Model A is for sale and I was surprised to see they are only asking $14,500 for it.

I don’t know why but I love Rat Rods. I’m not even a Mad Max fan. I just love the creativity that goes into these things. By the way, they're not just for show. They were driving a few of these around and they sound as cool as they look.

Imagine a guy pulling up in the driveway to pick up your daughter driving this. Do you let her go and appreciate his craftsmanship or do you lock her in her room and tell him your daughter moved to Canada?

I think somebody had to make a run to get a hot dog but didn't want to leave their beauty unattended.  Would you?

I should have paid attention in college.  I could be driving this on Sundays.

I'll keep saving, keep investing and keep playing the lottery so someday I may have a car like one of these.  OK, any of these.
